When a new GIFT release is made, any prior release(s) on the GIFT Portal are removed. However, as of GIFT 3.0 we are endeavoring to provide migration tools to facilitate transition from prior version(s) to the latest version. For example, with GIFT 3.0 we are providing a beta version of a DKF and Course (XML file) Conversion wizard which can be downloaded from the Files Tab. This tool can be used to convert GIFT 2.0 Course.xml and DKF.xml files into GIFT 3.0 compatible files.

Generally speaking, technical support from the GIFT Team will be limited to current versions of GIFT; however, users are welcome to post support requests for legacy version to the troubleshooting forum on the GIFT portal. Members of the GIFT community are welcome to reply to such inquiries. The GIFT team will decide to respond to legacy version support requests on a case-by-case basis.
